Within India’s complex tapestry of spirituality, numerous revered gurus (spiritual teachers) and babas (father figures) stand out, their teachings resonating far beyond the confines of their ashrams (temples) and devotees.
Sad guru: I make a lot of money. lol
Boasting millions of followers worldwide, these spiritual leaders have amassed substantial wealth and wield immense influence, molding the country’s spiritual terrain.
Let’s delve into the lives of the seven wealthiest and most influential spiritual gurus and babas, starting with "Sadhguru."
Renowned for his flippantly pragmatic outlook on spirituality and yoga, Sadhguru ("true guru") Jaggi Vasudev, the founder of the Isha Foundation, stands as a prominent spiritual figure.
With a global following numbering in the millions, his estimated net worth, according to the Times of India, stands at Rs 18 crore [1 Rs crore = ten million rupees, so he had 180 million rupees], as of 2023. [His fortune has increased since then].
Sadhguru’s influence extends across yoga centers, educational institutions, and ecological projects within his financial empire. Through his teachings, he imparts "wisdom" on inner engineering and holistic living principles. More
Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967–circa April 5, 1994) was an American punk, emo, alternative rock musician and a member of the infamous 27 Club. He was the lead vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter, and a founding member of the grunge band Nirvana, a name he chose when he found out that in Buddhism the definition of nirvana is "the end of suffering." Through his angsty songwriting and anti-establishment persona, he widened the thematic conventions of mainstream rock music. He was heralded as a spokesman of Generation X and is widely recognized as one of the most influential rock musicians. More
(Asmongold TV) Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself. (They found proof). [And a hired private investigator came to the conclusion that it was his drug addict wife Courtney Love.]
Syd Barrett after acid (LSD) at age 27
The Pink Floyd Sound with Syd (on right)
Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (Jan. 6, 1946–July 7, 2006) was an English singer, guitarist, and songwriter who co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. Until his permanent departure in 1968, he was Pink Floyd's frontman and primary songwriter, known for his whimsical style of psychedelia and stream-of-consciousness writing [1, 6]. He was already absent and undependable by 1967. As a guitarist, he was influential for his free-form playing and for employing effects such as dissonance, distortion, echo, and feedback.

In this Firestarter radio re-upload, Sinead McCarthy covers the level or flat earth, NASA, Freemasonry, Judaism, veganism, kosher slaughter, penile circumcision, Hitler, the Holocaust hoax, "controlled opposition," who really runs this world, and why they have convinced us that we are standing on a spinning ball moving at 1,038 MPH but too weak to throw off its watery surface.
Our eyes tell us one thing, but we are force fed a version of our environment we are not allowed to so much as question. Obey. Close your eyes. Go to sleep. Be quiet! Shut up! Sit on it!
Hey, but seriously, who could possibly believe -- after being bombarded with forced Western education -- that our Earth is flat? Anyone who tries to prove it is a round, spinning ball. Try it.
Zetetic: proceeding by inquiry and investigation; the zetetic method; of or related to an ancient Greek school of philosophy that espoused extreme skepticism [and testing ideas objectively].
It has come to mean believing in or based on the [reproducible evidence] that the earth is a plane and that the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies are only a few thousand [miles] above it. See dictionary.com
Zététique (from Ancient Greek ζητητικός zētētikós, "inquisitive," "keen") is the application of the scientific method when investigating allegedly "paranormal" phenomena [1]. It can often be seen as equivalent to or somewhat different from (scientific) skepticism (French scepticisme (scientifique) and is widely used in the modern skeptical movement in France for self-identification.

Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator (Koine Greek Κλεοπάτρα Θεά Φιλοπάτωρ, lit. "Cleopatra father-loving goddess" [Note 4]) lived from 69 BC–30 BC and was queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, the last active Hellenistic pharaoh [Note 5].
Her first language was Koine Greek, and she is the only Ptolemaic ruler known to have learned the Egyptian language, among eight others [Note 7].
After her death, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the Hellenistic period in the Mediterranean, which had begun during the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC) [Note 8]. More

Will Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Ka$h Patel, or lying (and exempted from further polygraphs) Dan Bongino be willing to go to prison for Trump?
Melania is completely loyal to her rich husband.
Long before she became the first lady, Melania Trump (nee Knauss) was "very involved" in convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein's social circle. That is how she was introduced to Don Trump, a longtime biographer (Michael Wolff) of the 47th US president has claimed: "She's introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She's introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well," Michael Wolff said in an interview with The Daily Beast podcast host Joanna Coles. Melania was part of the same modelling and social circles frequented by both Trump and Epstein, he added. More: ndtv.com
"If we eat just one billionaire, the rest will fall in line" (Russell Dobular, Due Dissidence)
From Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Leonnig and Davis, a shocking investigation of unparalleled depth into the subversion of the Justice Department over the last decade, culminating in Pres. Trump upending this cornerstone of democracy and threatening America’s rule of law as we have long known it.
Throughout his first administration, Trump did more than any other president to politicize the nation’s top law enforcement agency, pressuring appointees
to shield him,
to target his enemies, and even
to help him cling to power after his 2020 election defeat.
I told ya Swamp's corrupt. Who's got power?
The department, pressed into a defensive crouch, has never fully recovered.
Injustice exposes not only the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine the department at every turn but also how delays in investigating Trump’s effort to overturn the will of voters under Attorney General Merrick Garland helped prevent the country from holding Trump accountable and enabled his return to power.
I do what Israel tells me to do. Ask Bibi why.
With never-before-told accounts, Leonnig and Davis take readers inside as prosecutors convulsed over Trump’s disdain for the rule of law. FBI agents, the department’s storied investigators, at times retreated in fear.
They take readers to the rooms where Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team set off on an all-but-impossible race to investigate Trump for absconding with classified documents and waging an assault on democracy—and inside his prosecution’s heroic and fateful choices that ultimately backfired.
Neutral toward injustice? - Desmond Tutu
With a plethora of sources deeply embedded in the ranks of three presidencies, Leonnig and Davis reveal the daily war secretly waged for the soul of the department, how it has been shredded by propaganda and partisanship, and how—if the United States hopes to live on with its same form of government—Trump’s war with the Justice Department will mark a turning point from which it will be hard to recover.
Injustice is the jaw-dropping account of partisans and enablers undoing democracy, heroes still battling to preserve a nation governed by laws, and a call to action for those who believe in liberty and justice for all. More
(Channel 4 News) No one cared about the Mona Lisa until someone stole it in 1911. Then it became famous, was recovered, became subjected to the Mandela Effect, and grew in fame every year since, until an entire wall then room became dedicated to it. When we visited, the rooms were beautiful, even the halls were grand, but the mob in front of this one painting was ridiculous. At that time it could still be photographed, but taking a photo of the photographers seemed more appropriate.
Now it has a shield and guards, and goodness knows it's probably not the original, just a forgery with the real thing in a safe somewhere. The Louvre's security is behind the times, possibly because Pres. Macron's husband (and the couple's ridiculous fight with American Candace Owens about gender) and the riots in the streets are sucking all the oxygen and discretionary funds that should be applied to keeping the imperial booty and irreplaceable treasures in this pyramidal repository safe.
Jonathan Rinderknech arrested: ChatGPT, French rap, and Uber: Palisades Fire suspect's trail
.
Neither of these suspects is Jon Rinderknech
The Palisades Fire was one of two major infernos that hit Los Angeles on Oct. 7, 2025. The other was the Eaton Fire in the foothills of Altadena, which was caused by Edison, likely a negligent utility that left its inoperable transmission tower standing for decades and uncared for, making it a known fire hazard, according to attorney Mikal Watts (lafirejustice.com). Until now the means by which the historic winds that day managed to burn down the ritzy coastal areas of Los Angeles have been debated. The fire he set, the Lachman Fire, has been blamed on homeless individuals and fireworks. But authorities are now saying Jonathan Rinderknech, 29, a former Palisades resident now living in Florida, committed arson a week earlier and that those flames were never fully extinguished, coming to life with the strong winds.
